Later that evening
"Buffy, I'm leaving for patrol." Angel called upstairs as he grabbed his coat from the hall closet.
"Be careful." She yelled from their room.
"I will. If you need anything call my cell phone." He called before leaving.
Five Hours Later
Angel entered the house quietly. At least he tried to. Angel closed the door and stumbled over the blue rug. "Dammit." He whispered.
"Angel?" Buffy said, coming down the stairs.
"Go back to bed Buffy." Angel said before she made it all the way down.
"Angel, what's wrong?" She asked, ignoring his order.
"I said go back to bed Buffy." He yelled.
Buffy stopped at the bottom of the steps in shock. Angel had never spoken to her like that. "Angel."
"Buffy!" His yell cut her off. "Go to bed."
"NO! Angel, tell me what's wrong." She asked in the dark.
"Nothing!"
"Stop lying to me Angel. Something is off and I can feel it."
"Nothing is wrong. Just go back to bed." He said moving to the closet and shedding his coat.
"Angelus what the hell is going on? What happened?" She asked knowing that if Angel did not want her to know, Angelus would tell her just to spite him.
"Don't you dare answer that question." Angel growled to his alter ego.
Angelus sighed. Go to bed love.
"What?" She asked in disbelief.
You heard me. Now go. Angelus said calmly.
"Fine." Buffy said moving down the stairs and into the living room. She grabbed her shoes, slipped them on and shoved past Angel who was standing in front of the closet.
"Where are you going?" Angel asked.
"I'm going to sleep at Giles house." She informed him before pushing him out of the way and grabbing her jacket.
"What?" He asked angrily. "You're not leaving this house with out me. It's too dark and most defiantly not safe out there." He told her.
"I am and you're not going to stop me." She said flinging the door open.
Angel grabbed her arm roughly and spun her around. "Buffy. Stop." His facial expression softened. "Please. Don't go. I'm sorry." He told her.
"So am I." She said, extracting her arm from his firm grip and exiting the house, slamming the door behind her.
Angel opened the door and rushed out into the cool night. "Buffy. Stop."
"Why should I? So you could yell at me some more, order me around." She asked bitterly, as she kept on walking.
"Buffy. I am sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that." He said running to catch up with her.
Buffy suddenly stopped. She spun around angrily. "So why did you?" She asked.
"I had a bad night, is all. I shouldn't have taken it out on you." He said keeping his head low.
"What happened?" She asked sternly.
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me Angel. I hate when you lie to me."
Angel just sighed. "Can we discuss this in the house?" He asked her.
"No. I'm not going back there until you tell me what I want to know."
"Buffy it's not safe out here."
"Angel, just tell me what is going on."
"Demons. I met up with some demons that want our babies." He told her.
Buffy's eyes widened in fear. "What?" She asked.
"Buffy please. Let me take you home, before..." He trailed off as he noticed movement behind Buffy. Buffy noticed the look on his face and spun around.
Two large green demons came out from behind the trees and moved toward Buffy and Angel.
"They look anything like these guys." Buffy asked, moving instinctively toward Angel.
"Yup." He said pulling out a knife from his jacket and handing it to Buffy before pulling out another.
"Gulp." She said as she took the knife from him.
"I'll try to hold them off. You try to get back to the house as fast as you can. It's not that far." He told her.
"No. Angel, I wont leave you here."
"Buffy you have to. For our children."
Buffy thought about it and decided that she would not be any help to Angel or her children by staying. "Be careful." She said inching behind him.
"I will. I love you."
"Love you." She said.
The two demons charged and Buffy ran as fast as she could in her pregnant state.
Angel punched the first demon and kicked the other while Buffy ran. He prayed to anyone who was listening that Buffy would make it back to the house okay. That he would make it back to the house okay.
The first demon recovered quickly and sent a sharp blow to Angel's stomach. Angel lurched forward with the force of the blow. The second demon moved around Angel, trying to follow Buffy but Angel grabbed his arm and used it and his weight to flip the demon on his back, stabbing him in the chest the moment it hit the ground. The demon writhed in pain before dying. Angel pulled the knife from the demon and turned just in time to see the other one chasing after Buffy.
Angel ran full speed ahead. He was mire feet from the demon when he stopped and Angel threw the knife. It embedded itself in the back of it head and the demon fell forward. Angel ran to it, and for good measure snapped, the demons neck with his foot.
"Buffy." Angel yelled.
Buffy stopped and turned. She spotted Angel making his way to her and ran to him.
"Are you okay?" She asked grabbing him to see if he had any wounds.
"I'm fine. You?" He asked checking over her body for any sign of anything.
"Yeah."
Angel leaned down and kissed her tenderly. "I love you." He whispered as he pulled away.
"I love you too." She said as she laid her head on his chest.
"Come on. I think we should go home. Tomorrow morning I want you to call Giles. Let him know what is up. Set up sometime to meet with him and the gang tomorrow night. I want to know who these guys are and what exactly they want with our children." He said to her.
I say we go looking for anymore of those motherfuckers and kill them. Angelus growled within Angel.
"Angelus, watch your language." Buffy chided.
Why should I? You don't.
"Fuck you." She said angrily.
See what I mean. He asked Angel.
Angel just smiled as his lover and demon argued. "Why don't the both of you stop already? Let's just go home and get some sleep."
Yeah and hurry. The suns a coming' and I do not tan well. Angelus said in agreement.
Buffy just laughed.
"Buffy, I'm leaving for patrol." Angel called upstairs as he grabbed his coat from the hall closet.
"Be careful." She yelled from their room.
"I will. If you need anything call my cell phone." He called before leaving.
